Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015, and a Clean Copy Is One of the Trickiest Jobs
A copied store looks finished on the surface and fails underneath: a missing shipping zone, a broken menu link, a checkout setting that never made the trip. After more than 450 launches, our checks find those gaps before your customers do.

Who this is for
Who Asks Us to Copy a Store, and Why
Shopify has no single button that duplicates a whole store, so owners end up with half a copy and a long list of leftovers. These are the situations where a done-for-you copy saves the most time.
You are a good fit if
- The store you want copied is yours or you hold written permission
- You need it working, not just similar
- You want one person accountable for the result
- You prefer a fixed price to a monthly app bill
Owners opening a second brand
Your first store is working and you want a sister brand with the same layout and a new name. We copy the structure once, then swap the logo, colors and product data so the two stores do not look like twins.
Brands adding a regional store
A separate store for the UK, EU or Australia needs its own currency, tax and shipping rules. We duplicate the design and catalog and set up the local settings instead of retyping them.
Teams who want a safe test copy
Before a redesign or a big app install, you want a place to break things. We build a duplicate Shopify store for testing, so every experiment happens away from live orders.
Merchants changing accounts
You are moving to a new Shopify account, a new plan or a new legal entity. We handle the move to a fresh store and the redirect plan, so nothing is lost on the way.
Agencies and freelancers
You build similar stores for clients and keep a gold-standard setup. We turn it into a repeatable master copy, cleaned of client data, that you can launch from again.
Owners rebuilding after a mess
An old store collected unused apps, duplicate collections and broken sections. We copy only what is worth keeping into a clean store and leave the clutter behind.
Problems solved
Why a Quick Clone Shopify Store Attempt Often Goes Wrong
A do it yourself copy usually starts with a CSV export and a theme download and ends with surprises a week after launch. These are the gaps we see, and how our process closes each one.
The problem
The product import completes, but variants, images or metafields arrive broken.
The outcome
We map every column before importing, run the import in batches and compare counts and sample products against the source, so what you see in the new store is what you had.
The problem
Shipping zones, taxes and checkout rules do not travel with the data.
The outcome
We rebuild them from a written settings sheet taken from the source, then place test orders to several addresses to confirm rates and taxes behave.
The problem
Apps need to be reinstalled and their settings are lost.
The outcome
We list every app in the source, decide which ones deserve a place in the copy and configure them again, so the new store is not weighed down by leftovers.
The problem
Links, menus and handles point back to the old store.
The outcome
We crawl the finished copy for links that still lead to the source and fix them, then set redirects where a domain is changing hands.
The problem
Customer data is copied without regard to consent.
The outcome
We carry over marketing consent flags exactly as they are, leave out anyone who opted out and explain what can and cannot be imported.
The problem
Copying someone else's store invites copyright trouble.
The outcome
We only duplicate stores you own or may use in writing, and we replace images, text and brand marks that are not yours.
What we can do
What Our Shopify Store Cloning and Duplication Work Covers
Cloning is a data job, a design job and a settings job at once. These are the six areas we handle, with the edge cases that decide whether a copy is trustworthy.
Copy Shopify store theme with sections and settings intact
We duplicate the theme, carry section settings, custom code and uploaded assets, and rebind images and menus to the new store. Where the theme is licensed, we tell you whether a second license is needed.
Catalog, collections and metafields
Products, variants, SKUs, tags, collections, metafield definitions and inventory quantities are exported and imported in checked batches, with handle collisions and missing images resolved before anything goes live.
Pages, blogs, menus and policies
Content pages, blog posts, navigation menus and legal pages are recreated with working links, and we remove references to the source store's name, email and address.
Settings that CSV files never carry
Shipping profiles, tax settings, payment methods, notification emails, checkout fields and locations are rebuilt from a settings sheet and confirmed with test orders.
Customers, discounts and order history on request
In the larger packages we move customers with consent, discount codes and historical orders, so a new store does not start with an empty CRM.
Clone Shopify store QA with a written sign-off
Every copy is walked through at phone, tablet and desktop widths, link-checked and test-ordered, and you receive a report of what matched and what was intentionally changed.
What is included
What Your Shopify Store Duplication Includes

How a Duplicate Shopify Store Moves From Source to Copy
Follow a store copy from export to a verified result. Every record type is mapped before it moves, anything that clashes is flagged and merged, and redirects are prepared so the copy is ready to take over traffic when the time comes.

How We Copy a Store: Process and Timeline
From first look to handover in six stages, always working in the new store while the source keeps trading. Copy packages typically finish in 3 to 5 working days, while larger ones follow the ranges in the calculator.
- 1
Source audit
You grant access and we inventory the source: theme, apps, products, customers, shipping, taxes, pages and domain, then write down what will be copied, rebuilt or skipped.
- 2
Scope sign-off
You approve the audit sheet and confirm the destination, so there is no argument later about what a duplicate Shopify store project covered.
- 3
Build the shell
We create or prepare the destination store, duplicate the theme and rebind assets, menus and templates.
- 4
Move the data
Catalog, content, customers and discounts are imported in batches, with counts and spot checks after every batch.
- 5
Settings and QA
Shipping, tax, payments and notifications are rebuilt, then test orders, link crawls and device checks run against a written list.
- 6
Review and handover
You review the copy, request up to two rounds of changes and receive a recorded walkthrough and a difference report.

DIY Export, Gig Cloner, Duplicate Store App or a Done-For-You Copy?
There are four common ways to get a second store. They differ in how much you must do yourself, what is left out and who answers if something breaks after launch.
| What matters | DIY export | Gig marketplace | Duplicate app | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theme and settings carried across | Theme only | Look only | Varies | Yes |
| Shipping, tax and payment rebuilt | You do it | Rarely | You do it | Yes |
| Apps reinstalled and configured | You do it | Rarely | You do it | Yes |
| Link crawl and test order | You do it | Rarely | You do it | Yes |
| Consent flags kept on customers | You check | Unclear | Varies | Yes |
| Written difference report | No | No | No | Yes |
| Fixed price, no monthly fee | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Ownership clearly yours | Yes | Varies | Yes | Yes |
Inside every project
What Keeps Your Source Store Safe While We Copy It
A copy should never put the original at risk. These rules apply to every duplication job and are part of what the fixed price buys.
Read-only mindset on the source
We export from your live store and do not change its products, theme or settings. If a fix is needed there, we ask first and write down what we touched.
Backups before every import
We keep a dated export of the source and of the destination before each import step, so a bad batch can be undone and re-run without guesswork.
Consent and privacy respected
Customer records move only with their marketing consent state intact, and anyone who unsubscribed stays unsubscribed in the new store.
Counts you can verify
You get a sheet showing products, variants, collections, pages and customers in the source and in the copy, with any gap explained in plain words.
Ownership you can prove
We duplicate stores you own or have written permission to use. Images, text and brand marks that belong to someone else are replaced, not carried over.
Fixed scope and two revisions
The audit sheet is the contract: what it lists is delivered at the price you saw, and two rounds of changes are included before handover.

Why Store Design Expert
Shopify Experts for Hire, Without the Retainer
Duplication is detail work, and the details are where cheap copies fall apart. Here is what hiring a team that does this for a living changes.
Shopify only, since 2015
We have launched over 450 Shopify stores, so we know where themes hide settings, which apps keep data outside the store and which imports quietly drop fields.
We find the gaps first
The audit sheet lists everything that will not travel by itself. You see it before work begins, which means no unpleasant discoveries after launch.
Shopify experts for hire who stay accountable
You talk to the people doing the work, from audit to handover, and one named person answers for the result rather than a ticket queue.
Priced between a gig and an agency
Gig listings start near $20 and agency projects reach thousands. A $390 start with a verified copy sits in the middle, with scope fixed before you pay.
Design sense, not only data moves
A copy still has to look intentional. We tidy spacing, image ratios and section order while we move things, so the new store is better organised than the old one.
You own the result
Stores prepared in our Partner account are transferred to you, and stores in your account stay yours. No hostage access, no monthly fee to keep your own copy.
What we need to get started
What We Need to Start Your Store Copy
You do not need to export anything or prepare a brief. We need a way into the source store and a clear idea of where the copy should live.
Invite us as a collaborator
Send the source store URL and approve our collaborator request. We take only the permissions the copy needs and you can remove us at any moment.
No destination yet? We prepare it
We can set up the new store in our Shopify Partner account, build the copy there and transfer ownership to you at the end, leaving you to pick a plan only once you are happy.
Prefer staff login details?
You can create a staff account for us instead. Collaborator access is simpler to withdraw, but a staff login works if that suits your setup.
Destination and purpose
Tell us what the new store is for, such as a second brand, a regional store or a test copy, and whether you plan to point a domain at it.
What to leave behind
List anything that should not be copied: old products, discontinued collections, personal customers, outdated pages or unused apps.
Decision maker and dates
Name the person who approves the audit sheet and the finished copy, and tell us if a launch date or campaign is waiting on the new store.
Your owner password and payment card stay with you. A move between accounts runs on collaborator access or an ownership transfer, and the source store is left exactly as it was.

FAQ
Duplicate Shopify Store FAQs
Plain answers about what can be copied, what cannot, how long it takes, what it costs and who owns the result.
How much does it cost to duplicate a Shopify store?
Packages start at $390 for Copy, $790 for Full Clone and $1,390 for Multi-Store. Catalog size, how much data travels and the number of destination stores are priced in the calculator, so most projects land between roughly $400 and $1,900. You see the exact fixed price before checkout.
Can I duplicate my Shopify store?
Yes, as long as you own the store or hold written permission from the owner. Shopify offers no single duplicate button, so the work is done by combining exports, theme transfers and manual settings, which is what we do for you and then test.
What is included when you duplicate a Shopify store?
Every package copies the theme with its settings, products, collections, pages and menus, then runs a link check and a test order. Higher packages add shipping, tax and payment settings, apps, customers, discount codes, order history and per-store branding.
How to copy Shopify store data without losing variants and images?
The safe method is to map every export column, import in batches and compare counts after each one. Images need URLs that still resolve when the import runs. We follow that routine and give you a sheet that shows source and copy side by side.
Can you make multiple stores on Shopify?
Yes, one person can run several Shopify stores, each with its own plan, checkout and settings. Separate stores suit different brands or countries. Our Multi-Store package prepares one master copy and launches it into up to three stores.
How to add a second Shopify store and keep the same design?
Create the new store, then move the theme and its settings across and rebuild the content and settings around it. We do these steps together, swap the logo and colors if you want a distinct look and confirm both stores check out correctly.
Is there a way to duplicate Shopify store free of charge?
You can export products and customers as CSV files for nothing, and some apps offer small free plans. What you will not get free is the theme settings, shipping, taxes, apps and testing. Our paid packages cover those missing parts.
Should I use a Shopify duplicate store app instead?
Apps are a reasonable choice for a simple catalog copy and cost from a few dollars to a few hundred a month. They still leave configuration, app setup and testing to you. We use the best tool for each job and check the result by hand.
How do you copy Shopify store to another account, theme included?
We do it by transferring what you own. When the theme is yours or a licensed theme you hold, we move it, with sections, settings and uploaded files, and bind the images again. Some paid themes need a license per store, and we flag that in the audit sheet.
Can you set up a duplicate Shopify store for testing?
Yes. A test copy lets you try a redesign, an app or a checkout change without touching live orders. We can keep it light with catalog and theme only, and note which payment and email settings are switched off on purpose.
Can you clone Shopify website designs that belong to someone else?
No. We do not copy another brand's store, text, images or logo. If you like how a competitor's layout works, we can design something with the same strengths from your own brand and photography.
How long does a Shopify store duplication take?
Copy takes 3 to 5 working days, Full Clone 5 to 8 and Multi-Store 8 to 12, before options. Larger catalogs and order history add days, and the calculator shows the estimate. Sooner and Fastest options shorten the range.
Do you offer a Shopify done for you setup for the new store?
Yes. If you want more than a copy, such as new branding or extra pages on the new store, add the options in the calculator or ask for a quote. The copy itself arrives ready to trade, with a written handover.
What happens after the copy is delivered?
You receive a recorded walkthrough and a difference report listing what matched and what we changed on purpose. Multi-Store includes 14 days of fixes, and a 30-day support extra covers questions while the new store goes live.
